Dual-Channel System Operation
In an alarm condition, the system activates the FCCA and places the
channel 1 “fire area” alarm signal on the “B” riser, SIGA Channel 2
and the “other area” alert signal on the “A” riser, SIGA Channel 1.
Either the Tone and/or Tape LED’s will illuminate, depending on the
source of the alarm signal, and its destination. Automatic distribution
of the fire area signals from the channel 1 and 2 risers is done by other
portions of the alarm system. Areas not receiving the fire area signal
automatically receive the “other area” signal. Additional floors may be
manually switched in for fire (channel 1) alarm signal distribution
